well, in the example I cited, I had several .list sources, but only one
in each directory. Thus I was able to have different rules in different
directories.
This is not usable for you, but you can make the .list.h rule general:
$(PARSE) `case "$*" in *this.list) echo "this options";; \
*that.list) echo "that opt";; *) echo "default opt";;esac` $<
($* is substituted by make)
Or you can place the options at the first line of the .list source
and grep for them.
And if your generator creates *.c file after *.h file, you should
define the dependency:
foo.c: foo.h
and vice versa if the generator creates .h after .c.
That will make make happy and you won't observe repeated re-generation
of the .c file.
